Beliefnet launches social-networking site
NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Beliefnet has launched a social-networking service intended to bring together religious devotees, spiritual leaders and faith groups, the U.S. Web site said. The idea behind Beliefnet Community is to provide a forum for connecting religious individuals and groups, or those seeking spiritual inspiration, through social-networking tools common in sites such as MySpace and Facebook, Beliefnet said. An estimated 82 million people in the United States, or 64 percent of U.S. Internet users, perform spiritual and religious activities online, a 2004 Pew Internet & American Life Project study found. "Social networks aren't just about dating or bands anymore; they've evolved into powerful and very real communities," Beliefnet.com Chief Executive Officer Steven Waldman said in a statement.

Disaboom.com -- so named because the creator wanted to "blow the doors off" stereotypes -- is a website for the disabled community that combines lifestyle and medical information, discussion boards, social networking, a career centre and a dating site. It lays claim to being the first for-profit online destination for people with disabilities, which translates to a slick, sophisticated space with plenty of resources. .
MySpace agrees to new safety measures
An official familiar with the multistate agreement said that MySpace, the huge online social networking Web site, has agreed to include several online protections and participate in a working group to develop age-verification and other technologies. The official said MySpace will also accept independent monitoring and changes to the structure of its site. The agreement is scheduled to be announced today in Manhattan by attorneys general from New Jersey, North Carolina, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement hadn’t yet been announced. The attorneys general have been seeking greater controls for online networking sites to prevent sexual predators from using those sites to contact children.
